SARATOGA SPRINGS is the Queen of Resorts, and at no other place in 
the world is so much splendor concentrated in so limited a space. The 
Village is surrounded by beautiful scenery, with blue ranges of mountains 
visible upon either side. The Springs, twenty-eight in number, no two of 
which are precisely alike in composition, are among the natural curiosities of the 
universe. The Village has a resident population of 12,000 and a Summer pop- 
ulation sometimes of 60,000. Its hotels are the largest and most luxurious in 
the world ; and its streets are the most beautiful. Broadway, the principal 
street, is lined with double rows of magnificent elms, and during the Season 
presents a spectacle unlike anything else to be found. The walks and drives 
in and about the Village are varied and full of interest. Saratoga Lake, a 
beautiful 1)od\- of water, eight miles long and two and one-half miles wide, is 
but four miles from the \'illage, the road thither being 100 feet in width, and 
passing the race-course. Everything that taste and wealth can suggest has 
been dor.e to make Saratoga the first of resorts, and more attractions are here 
offered than at any other watering-place in the world.
